“…They found the inhibitory concentrations as minimum of aqueous and methanolic rosemary extracts on S. sobrinus were 4 and 16. Dalirsani et al compared rosemary methanolic extract (30 g/ 100 mL) with chlorhexidine and found that rosemary has inhibitory effects on S. mutans [27]. Being consistent with these studies, we found that rosemary was effective on remineralization process of enamel with high remineralization on fluorescence and microhardness assessments.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of herbal medicaments such as ginger, rosemary and honey on remineralization of initial enamel lesion. Methods: Demineralized human enamel specimens were measured for baseline surface microhardness and fluorescence methods. Ten specimens in each of four groups were used in this in vitro recycling study with the following treatments which applied three times a day: 1) sodium fluoride toothpaste (Ipana, Procter & Gamble, Turkey), 2) gingerhoney (Arifoglu Herbals, Anzer Honey, Turkey), 3) ginger-honey-chocolate (Bind Chocolate, Turkey), 4) rosemary oil (Arifoglu Herbals, Turkey). Treatment regimens of demineralization and remineralization cycle were applied for 21 days. The post-treatment data were obtained by measurements of surface microhardness and fluorescence methods. Data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA test with Tukey's honest significant difference test. Results: Enhanced remineralization was observed with several of the treatment systems including ginger + honey and rosemary. Significant differences between treatments were observed by microhardness and FluoreCam fluorescence assesment, compared to the positive control group (NaF dentifrice). Significantly, greater remineralization was observed with the honey + ginger treatment regimen. No significant differences between groups were observed using the fluorescence assessment method, quantitative lightinduced fluorescence. Conclusions: Herbals (ginger, honey and rosemary) have enhanced remineralization of initial enamel lesion.

“…[1920] The active metabolites of these extracts like carvone and cineole impart antiplaque effect by stimulating immune response and retarding biofilm formation. [2122] Chamomile and echinacea on the contrary inhibits hyaluronidase and interferes with the arachadonic acid pathway thereby imparting anti-inflammatory effect to the mouthwash which improves the gingival health.…”

Introduction:Plaque accumulation and oral microorganisms are the main predisposing factors to various orodental infections and targeting these, therefore, can prove to be an effective way of combating these diseases. Herbal extracts have been of particular interest these days owing to various side effects associated with conventional modes of treatment.Aims and Objectives:The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of a commercially available homeopathic mouthwash with chlorhexidine on plaque status, gingival status, and salivary Streptococcus mutans count.Materials and Methods:Total sample of 55 children, aged 8-14 years, were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (35) and Group B (20) were given 10 mL of test mouthwash “Freshol” and chlorhexidine respectively during phases 1 and 3 of the clinical trial which was of 10 days each. Phase 2 of 14 days in between was the washout period during which no mouthwash was given.Result:Freshol was found to be better than chlorhexidine in reducing the salivary mutans streptococci count and equieffective to chlorhexidine in altering plaque and gingival scores.Conclusion:Herbal alternatives can prove to be an effective and safe alternative to conventional modes of treatment.

Introduction-Mouthwashes are often prescribed in dentistry for prevention and treatment of several oral conditions. Chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash has earned eponym of gold standard to treat and/or prevent periodontal disease. In the recent times naturally occurring products are used on a large scale. Objective-The aim of this study is to compare the anti-gingivitis and antiplaque efficacy of herbal mouthwash (Hiora) with allopathic mouthwash (Chlorhexidine). Methodology-A total of 20 patients aged between 18 to 50 years, with gingivitis was selected for this study. After baseline scaling, 10 patients were advised to use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily in 1:1 dilution and other 10 patients used Hiora mouthwash twice daily. Plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing was recorded at baseline and after 21 days. Result-There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with regard to the clinical parameters. Herbal mouth rinses may be as effective as chlorhexidine as chemical antiplaque agents with fewer side effects Conclusion-Herbal mouth rinses may be as effective as chlorhexidine as chemical anti-plaque agents with fewer side effects. However, alternative study designs using larger sample sizes and longer duration are needed to further reiterate its benefits.
